Chermoula Djaj M'hammar (Keto)
Roasted Chicken with Chermoula (Keto)
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Moroccan dishes.
What it is
Whole or half chicken marinated extensively in a vibrant chermoula paste (garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil) then roasted to perfection. The chermoula creates a deeply aromatic and flavorful crust.
Key ingredients
Whole or half chicken, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, a touch of red pepper flakes (optional).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no added sugars to the marinade. Request a side of simple green salad or roasted low-carb vegetables instead of starchy sides.
Watch out for
Some chefs might add a touch of honey or sugar to the marinade for browning, though traditional chermoula does not. Ensure no potatoes are served alongside.
